The Sample Personnel Policies were recently updated, taking into account the statutory change making it clear that cities do not need to include a grievance policy for non-union employees.

This manual is being made available to provide cities in South Dakota with a practical guide to managing their human resources. It is developed with the smaller city in mind, but should be a useful and practical tool for all cities regardless of size.
